Cyclists only ever break the law for their own safety

A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Ignoring the warning lights, sirens
or barriers at a level crossing is not only incredibly dangerous, it is
also illegal."

How is it unsafe when nothing is coming?

You're just too cool to obey the law, aren't you?

Answer the question.

Ask the organisation responsible for safety on the railway? They know
more about it than I ever could. And certainly more than you ever will.

But no matter what the answer, you are just too cool to obey the law and
act responsibly. Aren't you?

Cheerful used the word "safety". Since you had nothing to contribute you
had no need to reply.

I contributed the fact that no matter what the answer, you are just too
cool to do boring things like obeying the law or acting responsibly.

That's correct, isn't it?

If you see no objection to a cyclist's breach of the railway bye-laws,
then as far as you are concerned, that's the end of the matter and you
will overlook the offence entirely.

As I said:

Cheerful used the word "safety".

He wasparaphrasing from Network Rail's "Ignoring the warning lights,
sirens [and] barriers at a level crossing is ... incredibly dangerous".

It's a surprise that you were unable to work that out for yourself. Or
is it?

But you probably know better than Network Rail do, I expect?

Laws must have a reason for their existence. The answer to "why is a
particular act unsafe?" is not "do you condone law breaking?"

If you just want to accept, unthinking, everything your lords and
masters demand, you're a fool.

That's correct, isn't it?

Whereas you are so cool you can never answer a question but must always
reply with a tangential question. Or spend three paragraphs explaining
why you can't give an answer that would have taken three words.

It's not.

It's unsafe to assume your assessment that nothing is coming is
infallible, however, especially if the barriers are down and/or the
warning lights are showing. In fact if the barriers are down and the
lights are showing it's pretty much certain that your assessment that
nothing is coming is wrong.
